Remaining Schedule NY PHI MIL

Only teams that matter. I doubt NY PHI MIL catch ORL. Schedule for the teams looks pretty balanced, MIL and NY face 3 teams playing over .500 and 3 teams under .500. PHI has the easier schedule but play 5/6 games on the road and a crucial game against MIL at MIL. MIL is outside looking in and if we take care of business we should get 7/8 seed. Only a massive choke would make us fall out of the playoffs.

Wow. They very well may drop out of contention for playoffs and slip to 9th overall giving bucks last spot. That would be bad for philly fans considering they were in first place a good portion of the season and to miss playoffs entirely after that would be devastating. Lol

Our next 2 games coming up are the Nets & Cavs, Is it safe to say were in the playoffs yet? its beginning to look that way

Well I would not count my chickens before they hatch. We have tended to play down to some of the lower tier teams all season. We have a GREAT game and beat a really good team like LA, Dallas, Orlando and Pacers (2x each) bulls or whoever.. then turnaround and give it right back by losing to teams like Raptors twice, Bobcats, Nets and Cavs.

So we need to have a killer attitude and jump on these teams early in next two games and take away any thoughts they may have of upsetting us. If we jump out to a 20pt lead or so chances are they will both just give up and not try. The longer we leave them in the game the better their confidence gets.

Well also just noticed that we are almost as bad.. We play 4 of last 5 on the road as well. but they have a slightly easier schedule then we do. We both play nets and cavs. they have Pacers (2x) who are tough and Bucks who may well be playing for that 8th spot when they meet. Their other game is Detroit. we get tough draws in Clippers and Hawks... and finish with bobcats. say we both beat cavs,Nets and odd team bobcats/Detroit.. Then we still have the 1game lead as those 3cancel eachother out. then take 1of2 from pacers and beat bucks. We split with hawks and clippers.

we would be 4-1.. they would be 5-1.. we win a tie??

although i really think they drop a few they would normally win due to not being a strong road team. however it may be better for us to tank and come in 8th and face bulls. I think that is a more favorable matchup first round for us then the Heat.
